BOSTON - Highlighted by a doubleheader on ESPN3 and an appearance on the CBS Sports Network, Boston University has released the entire basketball broadcast schedule for the 2011-12 season.
On Wednesday, Feb. 1, at Agganis Arena, the women's basketball team will host Vermont starting at 5 p.m. and will be followed by their male counterparts at 7 p.m. The two contests will be part of eight scheduled appearances on the ESPN family of networks for BU.
Led by first-year head coach Joe Jones, the men will put their three-game win streak on the line Saturday (Dec. 3) at Boston College on ESPN3. They will next host Harvard (Dec. 10) at Agganis Arena on NESN and then three days later appear on ESPN2 at Villanova (Dec. 13) for the first time since capturing the America East title last season.
Picked to repeat as conference champions, the men will return to NESN at Quinnipiac on Dec. 31 and then host Stony Brook (Jan. 14) on ESPN3.
After earning a 71-44 win over Rhode Island last weekend on NESN, eighth-year head coach Kelly Greenberg and the women's team will travel to UMBC on Jan. 25 for the first of three ESPN3 broadcasts. Besides hosting Vermont on Feb. 1, the Terriers will also visit Hartford on Feb. 25 for a key conference match-up.
Two days after facing the Seawolves, the men will host Albany (Jan. 16) at Agganis Arena during their first-ever appearance on the CBS Sports Network. The Terriers will later have a 9 p.m. start time at Stony Brook (Jan. 27) on ESPNU and then host Vermont a week later on a Feb. 1 ESPN3 broadcast.
ESPN3 will also carry the semifinals of the America East Men's and Women's Basketball Championship presented by Newman's Own on March 4. The tournament, which will be held at University of Hartford's Chase Arena at Reich Family Pavilion for the third straight year, takes place March 1-4 with the men's title game being played on Saturday, March 10 at 11 a.m. on ESPN2. The women's championship game date and time are to be determined based on television clearance availability.
